documents folder has disappeared

Catalina 10.15.2 has caused the Documents folder to be removed from the iMacHD. It is available from the Timemachine backup. How can I constitute the Documents folder on iMacHD?

Go into the System/Apple ID/iCloud/iCloud Drive/Options window and see if: 1 - iCloud Drive is enabled; 2 - Desktop & Documents Folders is enabled.



If they are that's why they are missing. You can find your Files in the iCloud Drive sidebar section:

Documents folder was not in the iMacHD - Data>users>yourusername location. The file is in the iCloud location however. Also, the the most recent Timemachine backup does not preserve the iMacHD - Data and iMacHD structure. With each Timemachine backup, only iMacHD is preserved. The iMacHD - Data partition is not preserved.
